You know who might like Legos even more than your kids? The company's employees. That's because Lego is giving more than 17,000 employees around the world an extra month's salary in January, the Copenhagen Post reports. A Lego spokesperson says to think of it more like a reward for a decade of success than a bonus. Plus, employees will get their normal bonuses in March anyway. In September, Lego announced an 18% increase in revenue over the previous year. "It’s an incredibly good performance and a result of the hard work that more than 15,000 Lego employees around the world have done,” Lego's CEO said at the time. (More Lego stories.)
